Default Ctek Charging cable?

Can you guys check me here....but...this isn't a ctek cable right? This looks like the battery jump cable to me. Just came in the mail finally from Porsche Motorsport after a few weeks order time from Germany.....and this thing was not cheap.

Yup those were the pictures I went off when I got in contact with Manthey and Porsche to order it. Sigh, they sent the wrong cable.

Those go directly to the battery and then the male end needs to be soldered to your Ctek plug. You’re not showing the other red snap connector that your Ctek connector will solder to. It is the male version that plugs into or snaps into that red female plug.

The battery cable traverses the footwell of the passenger side to the mid door base.

There is a little square raised metal piece under the rollbar on the passenger side that those two little screws screw into to hold that in place and that wire is just long enough to reach from your battery to that area. You then plug your battery charger into that plug after fixing the end of the opposite red plug to your wires on your ctek.

just just installed it on my club sport

So this is the only cable they sent me, and the opposite end is Ring Terminal +/-. Either they sent me the wrong cable or they didn't ship everything....which I really hope so for the 500 bucks this damn cable cost.

At the end of the red connector did you not have a separate piece that has pins in it that you can place wires onto snaps into those large red plug?
below are pictures of my club sport with the charger plug and this connected to my CTek charger. Sorry for the size I don’t know how to make them smaller.

Not to confuse: the two large red plugs came with the Porsche Motorsports cable and large plugs snapped together. I had to take my Ctek charger cord and secure it to the pins inside this red male plug.


This is the disconnected end of the CTek charger that hooks directly to the battery cable you purchased this red plug is on the end of the CTeK cable

Here is the other half of that battery cable plug the male end mounted to the CTek cable

Here they are when it’s charging snapped together

Nope no separate piece. When you look at the Manthey image above, its the Jumper cable. So I'm missing the male connector piece that would be terminated onto the ctek end of the cable. The cable from what I can tell is strictly the piece that hooks to the battery.
I swear I'm completely unimpressed with PMNA, no one answers the phone, returns voice or promptly returns emails there.

On the manthey site it looks like that CTek adapter cable with the large black plug might be the right one I don’t know if it’s as large as this red one though.
This all came together in a box from the factory with all kinds of expensive unlabeled goodies. You have the have a lot of luck and a few friends at the track that will let you look over their cars to make this work as I agree, they give very little individual help from Porsche or manthey.

Good luck. If you need any more pics let me know.
